You mean Harrington & Richardson Arms Co., A Short Illustrated History. I'm waiting for Bill Goforth's book.

I've read the J. Vorisek book - it was a start, but Joe seemed to have so many balls in the air that his history is incomplete and in some cases misled and misleading. Fun to read. But, for me, with hundreds of examples to study - I found that he didn't have the time to delve very deeply into the hardware. let alone the serial number work and Models ID and development. His history of H&R company is pretty good. Just don't take this book as "the Gospel" on H&Rs.

Thanks 32 for the info. I see that Vorisek appears to have many irons in the fire. I know I am waiting patiently

for Bill's Bible. Kurt
